I love it when I start to notice an artist that I hadn’t been aware of, but has been out there for a little while, and Omie_wan_kenobe is one of those. Now that I am aware of the artist’s presence I am seeing their work everywhere, and the best thing about Omie_wan_kenobi’s work is its variety and lack of a ‘house’ style.

This piece, in the burnt out tunnel, is big, bold and rather unusual. The fill paint is rather thin, and the Klashwhensober piece beneath it is clearly visible, and almost passes for a fill pattern. I don’t know whether OMIE is said ‘oh my’ or ‘omee’, but I guess the ‘wan kenobi’ would suggest the latter. Watch this space for more from this emerging talent.
